A Quick Overview of the Story Ecosystem: What Variables Will the Combination of Korean Wave Culture and AI Agents Bring?Once heavily backed by a16z, Story's token price has performed exceptionally well since TGE, with its FDV soaring to $7 billion, earning it the title of 'web3 Hollywood.' However, many have not considered what variables this combination of Korean Wave power and AI Agents might bring to the Crypto ecosystem. Below, I will share my personal observations. 1. It is evident that Story's TGE launched under a chorus of skepticism, but surprisingly, after its launch, it did not continue the market trend of VC tokens plummeting towards zero. Instead, it became the 'king of market manipulation' for this round of VC new tokens, thus being hailed as 'web3 Hollywood.'

Why is the Pump-style meme asset issuance method considered toxic?I don’t know if you have ever thought about what the 'original sin' that caused this wave of corpses on the chain really is? The answer is the Pump-style meme asset issuance method that everyone knows is toxic, yet still takes a small sip. Initially, the Pump-style internal and external market activation model allowed many small players to win a higher probability of investment returns through sitting still and trial and error. Coupled with the FOMO amplification effect of market sentiment after running out of the external market, the Pump method of issuing assets once became mainstream. But, success comes from Pump, and failure also comes from Pump. The essence of the Pump way of issuing assets is: 1) It is the short-term industrialized production of tokens. This way of issuing tokens focuses on standardized operations, low barriers to entry, and rapid mass production, which leads to most projects issuing tokens without a complete project plan, let alone talk about technological innovation and product landing, focusing solely on mass production, reissuing after a break.

When @KaitoAI's airdrop feast ended, it was obvious that Yap's voice on Twitter was less, which is actually normal. If you only connect to Kaito for airdrops, you have not realized the value of Kaito's ecological niche: Objectively speaking, Kaito is the attention economy distribution dispatch center (chain) of this round of Crypto Cycle, KOL is the miner/verification consensus branch (node) that supports the operation of this system, $KAITO is the necessary incentive (Tokenomics), Mindshare is the business model of the Kaito network (renting block capacity), and those project parties that join the Kaito ecosystem are actually key customers (Gas consumers). When the MEME assets led by PumpFun are flying all over the sky, the Crypto world is bound to see a war for attention. Imagine that more and more project parties need Mindshare block ownership, which will definitely increase Gas resources to inject economic momentum into the chain. When the block capacity of the chain is gradually saturated, it will inevitably bring very strong commercial value support. Then, as a mining node (KOL), every miner can enjoy lasting commercial dividends. “Platform itself → Attention economy distribution and dispatch center (chain) KOL → Miner/verification node $KAITO → Incentive mechanism (Tokenomics) Mindshare → Business model (block capacity rental) Project party → Customer (Gas consumer)” This is the positive flywheel of the attention flow economy created by Kaito. No one deliberately brushes it, the algorithm is the least challenging, and the business model is the healthiest and most sustainable.

Let me share my views on the theft of 1.5 billion yuan in assets from Bybit: 1) Compared with the fragile blockchain ecosystem where there was a security incident almost every three days from 2018 to 2019, we haven't heard of large-scale hacker attacks for a long time, so much so that we have confidence in the overall security deployment capabilities of the dark forest of blockchain. But once the Bybit theft incident broke out, it was discovered that blockchain security issues will always accompany the consolidation and development of the blockchain ecosystem. Smart contract engineering implementation capabilities, local server system deployment capabilities, social engineering security awareness protection capabilities, etc., may be found by hackers at any time. Security weaknesses. Blockchain security issues should never be taken lightly. 2) Bybit has performed very well in spot trading volume, listing market strategy, user activity, etc. in the past year. It is in the process of recruiting troops, expanding its layout, and preparing for the battle. Such an unpredictable attack by hackers will more or less affect the momentum of continued advancement. However, many people in the market compare this with the FTX bankruptcy incident. I think this is a bit too much. For the CEX exchange system, the impact of external security threats is far less fatal than the internal governance risks. Compared with the systemic collapse caused by FTX's "internal troubles", Bybit only needs time to resist external hacker attacks; 3) Many people are panicking that the "unlocking" of 1.5 billion will bring a lot of selling pressure to the market. Based on the experience of previous major hacker attacks, it is only the market confidence that is frustrated in the short term. The disorderly panic withdrawal and selling is the root cause of market fluctuations. It is almost impossible for the huge amount of assets of 1.5 billion US dollars to flow out through CEX. It can only be separated through the mixer and then slowly digested on the chain in 1-3 years. Therefore, the market needs to remain vigilant, but there is no need to panic too much.

The AI ​​industry will move from "volume models" to "volume applications". When the model itself is no longer a scarce resource, the focus of competition will be on how to implement the model as a tool for AI agents. Therefore, the next AI Agent will take three major directions: 2 segmented application tracks + 1 big infra narrative 1) Defai, a financial service agent, including automated MEV strategy (extending MEV capture rights from miners to ordinary users), dynamic risk management (allowing Agent to automatically adjust mortgage rate, stop loss line, predict black swan), on-chain credit score (analyzing user historical behavior, personalizing DeFi interest rate and pledge rate), etc.; 2) Gamefai, a game service agent, including multi-agent collaborative mini-games (new game paradigm), human + agent gambling interaction (AI pet battle), and game NPC agentization (NPC has memory emotions and growth trajectory, and forms a virtual social relationship with players); 3) Chainization, a web2 AI Agent that connects to the "generalization and modularization" exploration of blockchain infra in the past, including decentralized computing power, data, algorithm platform, Oracle 2.0 adapted to Agent, DA storage that can dynamically manage memory, and interoperability that supports multi-agent collaborative interaction based on chain infra, etc.

Why have celebrity coins 'deteriorated' after TRUMP?In fact, since TRUMP, the meaning of celebrity coins has completely 'deteriorated'. We just need to clarify two facts: 1) The expectation that celebrities outside the crypto circle will bring incremental funds and users is problematic: The reason Trump’s coin attracted attention is not only due to the PVP culture within the crypto community but mainly because of the market's optimism about a series of crypto-friendly policies from the Trump administration. However, the fact proves that issuing MEME coins and implementing crypto policies are two different matters. The president cannot be responsible for coin prices, nor can they introduce real-world credibility endorsements for coin values. We can only regard $TRUMP as a super MEME with a unique 'angle', while presidents and celebrities from smaller countries merely see the crypto space as a 'cash machine'. At least currently, all the expectations that celebrity coins will significantly break into the mainstream are merely wishful thinking; if they get burned, they can only blame themselves.

Research and investment suggestions regarding AI Agents (including interpretations of popular projects):Regarding the research and investment in AI Agents, here are some reference suggestions (including interpretations of popular projects): 1) The AI Agent market is still very early; the overall appearance is still MEME-like. Even valuable incremental projects are cloaked in a MEME exterior, making it difficult to understand a project using traditional value judgment logic. Therefore, when encountering fun, interesting, and innovative projects, the earlier you participate, the better. How much to bet depends on a series of comprehensive factors such as on-chain Holder addresses, community reputation, and overall market value. In short, analyze projects with a 'technical mindset' and invest in projects with a playful 'MEME' attitude.

Why is AI Agent said to have DeFi Summer-level industry growth opportunities?In my last article, I shared the logical relationship between AI narratives such as AI DePIN, AI MEME, and AI Agent. However, when exploring the potential Alpha of AI, the question arises: should I choose AI MEME that may come from a conspiracy group with a strong wealth effect but frequently replaced? Should I choose a protocol framework that is still in the early stages of building infra? Or should I choose some cool single AI with specific application scenarios? To be honest, I was confused for a long time. The following are just some superficial opinions: 1) There is no doubt about the big trend. AI Agent is neither an "asset" nor an "application", but a new paradigm of "narrative" in the large-scale blockchain ecosystem.

How should we view Ant Group's financial technology collaboration with Sui Network in the RWA track?It is noteworthy that the tech giant Ant Group is also quietly entering the RWA track, focusing on serving ESG-related new energy assets—a business scenario that requires a large cash flow over a long operational cycle. After Ondo introduced U.S. Treasury bonds and Huma incorporated credit service accounts receivable, Ant Group's financial technology and Sui have cooperated with the intention of capturing the 'heavyweight' application scenarios that demand higher compliance qualifications, have good growth potential, longer launch cycles, and a more specialized investor base in ESG. A brief discussion: 1) The tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) is a necessary entry point for many traditional finance giants to connect with the web3 field, because:

FlareNetwork provides smart contract access support for XRP. Will this be the beginning of XRPFi?Interestingly, @FlareNetworks proposed to provide a set of staking services for the XRP network, aiming to allow XRP holders to participate in other web3 application scenarios such as oracles and L2. Many people only saw the continuous surge in $XRP, but they didn’t know that $FLR also followed the 3-fold increase. I can’t help but ask, what is the relationship between Ripple and the Flare network? After BTCFi, will XRPFi also become a new narrative? Next, a brief summary: 1) Ripple XRP is a typical old currency. It was born in 2012 (much earlier than Ethereum). Its goal is to replace the traditional inter-bank SWIFT payment and settlement system and realize high-speed and low-cost cross-border payment applications.

Why you must not miss the AI ​​Agent narrative boom?Why should we not miss this AI Agent narrative craze? Many people still think that AI Agent is just a short-lived hot topic like "AI + DePIN, AI computing power/reasoning aggregation platform, AI MEME". But in fact, I want to say that they are just manifestations of different stages of AI + Crypto integration, and will eventually work together to drive the arrival of the main bull market. Next, let me talk about my views point by point: 1) In general, the narrative logic that AI+Crypto will become the main uptrend of this bull market will not change, because the AGI large-scale model training and the in-depth development of the future multimodal AI industry will place greater and greater demands on traditional computing power, storage, data and other "resources". This means that the AI ​​industry will be very inward-looking and cruel, and monopoly will be inevitable, which will inevitably cause the "spillover" of the innovation needs of some small and medium-sized enterprises.

Interpretation of Zircuit: An Unconventional layer2?Why is @ZircuitL2 considered an unconventional layer2? 1) It is built on the OP Stack codebase but does not belong to the OP superchain camp? 2) It belongs to the OP-Rollup chain but does not highlight fraud proof, with a strong ZK imprint from the name to technical details? 3) It has no apparent connection with the AVS security consensus mechanism yet has given $Eigen stakers an airdrop, etc. Next, let me briefly share my understanding of the Zircuit chain: 1) The OP Stack obviously provides a foundational technical framework for quickly launching layer2, but many chains, including Metis, Mantle, Zircuit, etc., have used the OP Stack codebase technology framework without being incorporated into the Superchain strategic route.

Why is it meaningless to discuss whether Polymarket is part of the Ethereum ecosystem?I saw many people discussing whether @Polymarket belongs to the Ethereum ecosystem? In fact, this is not important at all. Many people are just unhappy that such a super application that became popular during the Trump election failed to stimulate and catalyze Ethereum. We are looking forward to a phenomenal application that can revitalize the entire Ethereum ecosystem! Next, let me talk about my opinion: 1) @VitalikButerin has praised Polymarket many times. As someone who is anxious about the over-financialization of DeFi, it is hard for him not to like Polymarket, an application that connects on-chain capital investment with real-world prediction scenarios.

Analysis of OP Superchain Revenue Situation: Is OP Stack Strategy Showing Initial Results?I looked at the table of profit and ecological data for @Optimism Superchain over the past year and extracted a few key indicators to share: 1) As of now, OP Superchain has a total revenue of 15,849 ETH, of which @base contributes 2,878 ETH. The revenue composition is: OP Mainnet's on-chain net profit + 15% of on-chain net profit sharing from OP Stack chains / 2.5% of total revenue); as this data does not have direct comparative income data from other L2s, I will not comment. 2) The OP Superchain ecosystem has expanded to 35 chains, including 33 L2s and 2 L3s; the statistics may not be complete, as more than half have not launched yet, but the rapid development speed of OP Stack is evident.

Why is Eigenlayer so important to the future development of Ethereum?Putting aside the "neutrality" of the core members of the Ethereum Foundation serving as consultants to @eigenlayer, in terms of its technical value, Eigenlayer is really too important to the future development of Ethereum from a long-term perspective. In order to avoid everyone falling into the emotional misjudgment of "hating the whole thing", I would like to share some of my personal understandings for reference: 1) Many people are aware of the value of Lido to the Ethereum ecosystem. It manages a group of Validators, lowers the high threshold of 32ETH required for users to participate in the node, and avoids the complex node system maintenance. At the same time, stETH can re-release liquidity to avoid asset lock-in.

What do you think of Yala, which is led by Polychain: Can it leverage the BTCFi yield market through stablecoins?As the first Bitcoin native stablecoin YU, @Yalaorg announced a round of $8M Seed round of financing led by @Polychain and @EtherealVC last night. Yala officially announced its grand vision of leveraging the BTCFi liquidity yield market through stablecoins. What do you think of what Yala has done? It is a bit like Ethereum's "DAI moment". Yala intends to bring a "YU moment" to the BTCFi ecosystem. Next, let me briefly talk about my understanding: 1) If I remember correctly, the last time these two companies led the investment was Eigenlayer’s seed round. Yala’s investors this time also include Galaxy, Anagram, Amber Group, etc., which is considered a more serious financing - most of the money was from first-tier American institutions.

What do you think of Uniswap launching the new layer2 chain Unichain?What do you think of @Uniswap's upcoming launch of Unichain, a layer2 dedicated to DeFi? I think the public opinion is in an uproar, and it is interpreted as the top DeFi application "defecting" from Ethereum. Previously, dYdX's independent application chain and MakerDAO's Endgame as NewChain had caused heated discussions. In fact, Uniswap's independent chain plan cannot be considered a defection, but rather a catalyst to boost Ethereum layer 2. Why? Next, let me talk about my opinion: 1) dYdX built an independent chain based on the Cosmos IBC architecture, and MakerDAO intends to build an independent chain close to Solana. They are similar in nature, and both are hindered by the performance bottleneck of the Ethereum chain. Ethereum's Gas Limit determines that a block can only process more than a thousand transactions, and the performance of the layer2 chain is limited by the main network's Rollup contract processing capacity even if it is expanded off-chain. Therefore, dYdX and MakerDAO ultimately chose independent consensus chains. I have previously systematically analyzed the reasons in an article.

Interpreting RISE Chain: Does Ethereum need a high-performance layer2 narrative direction?Recently, a little-known project @Rise chain has sparked heated discussions in the market. There are two reasons: 1) Not long ago, it officially announced a 3.2M seed round of financing, and Vitalik's name was on the list of investors. Doesn't that mean it will not invest in layer2? 2) It proposed the concept of GigaGas layer2, believing that Gas measurement is better than TPS, and tried to promote a high-performance layer2 narrative track? Next, let me talk about my opinion: 1) Whether Vitalik invested directly or donated in the form of donation is not the focus of discussion. Rise’s ability to obtain Vitalik’s support is directly related to the high-performance layer2 direction he leads.

Lessons from experience: How to become a high-quality content creator?1/Recently, I was fortunate to receive 4,000 EIGEN airdrops from the Eigenlayer Foundation. The eligibility requirement is to become a content creator who contributes to the community. If more project parties join the ranks of incentivizing content creators, won’t a new round of TwitterFi be coming? So how can you become a high-quality Content Creator in the eyes of the project party? Share some experience: 2/ Choose the right output direction. Primary project investment research, secondary trading opportunity analysis, hair hunter, macro market analysis, on-chain data indicator interpretation, etc., each has different thresholds and commercial transformation paths. You must not try to get involved in every direction, or you will end up with nothing. With some security technology background and VC experience, I naturally chose the project investment research direction. Investment research is not difficult, but the long-term output and value accumulation are important.

Analyzing dappOS: What is the crux of the decentralized solver market?Recently, there has been a lot of discussion around @dappOS_com's intent execution network. Many people said that after Paradigm launched intent-centric, only the AI ​​Agent intelligent matching engine was hot for a while, and the overall progress of the intent track was not ideal. So, what are the current problems facing the intention track? How should the decentralized solver execution network be implemented? Next, let’s talk about our views: 1) Paradigm has been throwing out intent-centric for a long time, and the intent track has indeed been lively for a while, with a number of projects including Anoma, Essential, dappOS, Brink.trade, etc. The intent track simplifies the threshold for users to participate in DeFi, can effectively connect with AI, and fits the characteristics of Mass Adoption, and is regarded as a major narrative in the bull market expectations.
